That would be on America companies and you. America didn't build the canal out of the kindness of their hearts. They built it to get goods to America. I suggest America focus on her borders are she might find herself like France. This is a new era and people are not their fathers and grandfather's generations. America is a consumer country.

For starters, people are wilfully misconstruing the word "Acquire" to mean "Seize By Force". I believe he mentioned the idea of BUYING Greenland, and the Panama Canal was ours to begin with so there's a legitimate claim there. But I don't think he actually wants the canal, this is likely just a negotiation strategy because they're charging our ships too much to pass right now.
@@Mark-t9l7r - Well there are treaties in play, it's the whole basis of what Trump is saying. Panama was granted authority over the canal so long as they were neutral as owners, and if it they do not remain neutral then the US has can drop the agreement altogether and retake the canal. Whether Panama agrees or not will be of little consequence. But like I said, it sounds more like a negotiation tactic to get them to reduce their rates than a true threat to me.
@@Mark-t9l7r Panama has violated the agreement that turned the canal over to them a number of times. This alone give the US the right to terminate the agreement.
All he's doing is making himself an enemy in Latin America!! Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Panama, and the Central America Venezuela and many other countries!!!!
You sound like jews that always say if I don't steal it some will steal it ,,, this is the reason countries need to have superior military defense system against invators
The US got kicked out of Afghanistan by guys with machine guns bolted to old Toyota trucks. Plus one mine carelessly dropped in the water and the canal is out of action for months.
The big container ships of today can't navigate the canal and It's too small. They are considering a rail system to unload and off load cargo. This not an answer. China is going to build a rail system?

It makes perfect sense to me. The American people paid for this project with our tax dollars at a cost of 376 million dollars back then and this includes 10 million paid to Panama and the 40 million paid to the French when they abandoned the project thus it ended up the US paying for it entirely.
The canal was never yours, the US appropriated it illegally without the consent of the Panamanians, you signed a treaty to build the canal with a French by the name of Phillipe Buneau-Varilla, he’s interest was to recover his investment from the failed French attempt on building the Panama Canal.
Yes, we can do it, Panama is basically a backyard of US (America created Panama, US suffered a lot, over twenty years at least after we took it over from France). Please get it right here, Trump knows what he was talking about. As for Greenland, again is for the security of America and the world, so Denmark has to sell it to US. We are dealing with Russia (in the East, EU basically) and China (in the west, Asia basically), Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, Japan, Taiwan (you know, study the history, get it right). We built Panama, as we used to invade the country, so yeah, we're America.
Sovereign nations and their peoples do not necessarily want to become Americans. Have you forgotten your own history? Did you enjoy being a colony of the English?
Denmark leases the US a military base in Greenland. What else does the US need? It's up to the Greenlanders to determine their relationship with the US.
Yes, it was signed over to Panama by our president. Agreed by both sides at the time. Now Trump wants to break that deal. He thinks he owns everything....Canada, Greenland, now Panama Canal.....he is such a spoiled little boy who never grew up..
If its Trump- everyone has to use the word "threaten".... He didn't suggest,,, he didn't hint,,, he didn't propose,,,, he threatened you see....People are truly sick of it... and I for one am thrilled the dems and their paid for media, even after a resounding ass-kicking, don't get it.
Panama is going to need a massive technological effort to keep providing enough water into the canal. If Panama can’t keep it flowing at full speed, they’re going to need our ingenuity.
Jimmy Carter should have never turned over the Panama Canal to Panama they have broken the treaty many times over.USA built and paid for canal and Thousands of illegal immigrants have come thru that canal.
the best thing for Panama that could ever happen is for the us to come back and control that waterway it would add so much goodness to the country both of our countries

Oh, so once you own something at any time, it's always yours to take back? Wonderful logic there, and I'm sure Panama will agree.
@@Mark-t9l7r - Well there are treaties in play, it's the whole basis of what Trump is saying. Panama was granted authority over the canal so long as they were neutral as owners, and if it they do not remain neutral then the US has can drop the agreement altogether and retake the canal. Whether Panama agrees or not will be of little consequence. But like I said, it sounds more like a negotiation tactic to get them to reduce their rates than a true threat to me.
@@Mark-t9l7r Panama has violated the agreement that turned the canal over to them a number of times. This alone give the US the right to terminate the agreement.
All he's doing is making himself an enemy in Latin America!! Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Panama, and the Central America Venezuela and many other countries!!!!
Who built and paid for the canal ?
The united states
who sold the canal?
The united states
@@kenho-wr5ul2rh7mand we will take it back a
Whose property was it originally? Columbia/ The US flat out stole it
@@gregoryvanikiotis3214 100% true
So shouldn’t Russia take Alaska then lol
If the U.S. decides to take the canal back from Panama, there is nothing they can do about it.
@@wmffmw military talking, yes. Diplomatic a lot.
You sound like jews that always say if I don't steal it some will steal it ,,, this is the reason countries need to have superior military defense system against invators
The US got kicked out of Afghanistan by guys with machine guns bolted to old Toyota trucks.
Plus one mine carelessly dropped in the water and the canal is out of action for months.
All the people who were making a living from the canal are going to start crossing the border
So, the guys with the guns make the rules???? Lovely picture
Why stop there let's take Canada and Mexico while we are at it.
Russians are planning something similar when they get Ukraine.
We'll give them money back and call No deal
Yea, make the United States an indian giver. Great idea.
Taking back the canal would provide security also. The migrants cross over it. It’s like a picket line. In Central America
No migrant is crossing thru the canal. There are bridges that were not even part of the old panama canal zone.
Why did we sell it
A lunatic democrat form the 80's make the decision, his name "Jimmy Carter", he was an early version of Joe Biden.
Carter gave it away.
I’m not sure why he did it, it would be great to figure that out.However, it’s possible that it was an option for that particular time.
Take back nothing for free
This is ridiculous. It will never happen
The big container ships of today can't navigate the canal and It's too small. They are considering a rail system to unload and off load cargo. This not an answer. China is going to build a rail system?
The Monroe doctrine may come in handy
In 2018, Panamanian police officers evicted the Trump Organization from the Trump International Hotel in Panama City after a protracted legal battle between the president-elect’s family and the majority owner of the property. The Trump name subsequently came down. The company had held a contract to manage the property.
It's a better deal to recover the money spent un Vietnam, Irak, Afganistán, Siria, ...

What was Jimmy Carter thinking?
he never did
Doesn't sound like it.if we were paying the same we wouldn't have the problem. Somewhere. Along this line somewhere is clashing it should be fixed.
Prefer diplomatic negotiations
BS
I love Trump BUT he is stretching it too much. Forget it.
United States of America should take it back in the control period !!!!
It makes perfect sense to me. The American people paid for this project with our tax dollars at a cost of 376 million dollars back then and this includes 10 million paid to Panama and the 40 million paid to the French when they abandoned the project thus it ended up the US paying for it entirely.
Even a kid could tell you that map behind u is wrong AFRICA is 20times bigger than the USA
It was stupid for us to give up the canal. And as far as greenland, it would be a benefit and would work in our favor as a whole.
The canal was never yours, the US appropriated it illegally without the consent of the Panamanians, you signed a treaty to build the canal with a French by the name of Phillipe Buneau-Varilla, he’s interest was to recover his investment from the failed French attempt on building the Panama Canal.
What about Canada? Should we take that too?

how valuable is the canal..?
walk around the southern of So. Amer. back up to the Pacfic side of canal , then tell me.
Who paid for it?
The US
The US exploited the canal for decades, making up for way more than the construction cost in economical benefits
Who sold it lol
Yes, we can do it, Panama is basically a backyard of US (America created Panama, US suffered a lot, over twenty years at least after we took it over from France). Please get it right here, Trump knows what he was talking about. As for Greenland, again is for the security of America and the world, so Denmark has to sell it to US. We are dealing with Russia (in the East, EU basically) and China (in the west, Asia basically), Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, Japan, Taiwan (you know, study the history, get it right). We built Panama, as we used to invade the country, so yeah, we're America.
Sovereign nations and their peoples do not necessarily want to become Americans. Have you forgotten your own history? Did you enjoy being a colony of the English?
and you wonder why all other countries think that you are stupid ...
You guys went from isolationism to imperialism pretty damn quick, didn't you?
Denmark leases the US a military base in Greenland. What else does the US need? It's up to the Greenlanders to determine their relationship with the US.
I am Down with That
What about the Carter-era treaty with Panama negotiated by Sol Linowitz? Didn't that give Panama authority over the Zone?
And nobody ever violates treaties... Least of all power-hungry authoritarian dictators...
Yes, it was signed over to Panama by our president. Agreed by both sides at the time. Now Trump wants to break that deal. He thinks he owns everything....Canada, Greenland, now Panama Canal.....he is such a spoiled little boy who never grew up..
China has other routes they are building. They are building belt and road from Brazil to Chile.
Battle over BRICS vs West.
One more mess we can thank Carter for?
They violated the contract thousands of times
This dude is going after Canada, Greenland and Panama.... the ultimate Troller!
He's not going after Canada
He's not trolling.
@@zakglove6536 He is.
Don’t be ridiculous!!!
Well, we paid for it.
Canada needs a leader. Remember the Louisiana Purchase.
Jimmy Carter is a disgrace.
If its Trump- everyone has to use the word "threaten".... He didn't suggest,,, he didn't hint,,, he didn't propose,,,, he threatened you see....People are truly sick of it... and I for one am thrilled the dems and their paid for media, even after a resounding ass-kicking, don't get it.
We never should have relinquished control of the canal. I always thought that was stupid.
An American President looking out for American interests. Crazy.
Panama is going to need a massive technological effort to keep providing enough water into the canal. If Panama can’t keep it flowing at full speed, they’re going to need our ingenuity.
Jimmy Carter should have never turned over the Panama Canal to Panama they have broken the treaty many times over.USA built and paid for canal and Thousands of illegal immigrants have come thru that canal.
Do it Trump
Yeah and maybe England can retake their north american territory?
Blame dumb Carter! He had done things that didn't have to be done.
the best thing for Panama that could ever happen is for the us to come back and control that waterway it would add so much goodness to the country both of our countries
Dear world, stop taking money from America. Pay off your IMF money and move on. Ask china for help or do without
